Questions about this piece
Do hair clips damage your hair?
Most of the damage comes from the hardware, not from clipping. Metal hinges and rigid, sharp teeth catch individual strands and snap them where the clip closes, and putting a clip in wet hair stretches it before it breaks. A clip with teeth that give a little is easier on hair, because it conforms to the section instead of forcing the section to conform to it. These have bendable teeth that flex to your hair and hold without pulling or snagging.
What hairstyles work with a small hair clip?
Half-ups, twisted-back front sections, and a low twist if your hair is on the finer side. The limit on a small clip is volume, not length, so long hair is no obstacle as long as you are only asking the clip to hold part of it. One worth trying: take a section from each temple, twist them back, and clip them together at the crown. That gets the hair off your face without flattening the top the way a ponytail does. This one is sized for fine to medium hair and half-up styles.
How long is this clip, and what does the flat back do?
It is 3.25 inches long, with a flat back instead of a rounded one. The length sets the job: 3.25 inches holds a half-up section or the front pieces twisted back, not a whole head of thick hair wound into it. The flat back is the part you notice hours later, because a clip that sits flush against your head lets you lean into a headrest, a couch or a pillow without it digging in. That is the difference between a clip you keep in on the drive home and one you take out.
